FLASH FLOOD WARNING IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY 10708 THROUGH MIDDAY - CHECK LOCAL ALERTS FOR BRONXVILLE NY 10708
With "Winter Storm Boreas" traveling out of here for Thanksgiving, we are left with flood warnings from all the rain last night.
At 9:05 today a FLASH FLOOD Warning was reported for Westchester County. That's after about 3 inches of rain fell in the past 24 hours, with another 1 to 2 inches possible through Noon today. We are fielding flooded basement and lower level basement calls today and all weekend to dry carpet and prevent a mold "chaser" to our Thanksgiving dinners!
Officials are reporting excessive runoff from this heavy rainfall and it may cause flooding in small creeks and streams, across parkways and roads.
WHAT TO DO / NOT TO DO ON A FLOODED ROAD
...AND KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE WET BASEMENTS, TOO!
- A FLASH FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. IF YOU ARE IN THE WARNING AREA MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY.
- RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY.
- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS SWIFTLY FLOWING WATER OR WATER OF UNKNOWN DEPTH, EITHER ON FOOT OR IN YOUR VEHICLE...4 WHEEL DRIVE WON'T SAVE IT, AND EVEN SUVs WON'T SURVIVE A FLOODED ROAD IF IT'S FAST MOVING WATER!
